Ok, my friend wants to trade me wheels

Curretnly on my car:


What he wants to trade me:



SSR wheel sizes: 18x8.5 +42 18x9.5 +37
Volk TE37 sizes: 17x8 +40 17x9.5 +40

what do you guys think?

 

I would take the SSR's.

 

 

yeah, ssr!!

 

Das bigger das better

 

17s are to small.

 

17s are ok but those offsets suck

 

i would take the Volk since 17s are much lighter overall due to the tires weight itself. if you're gonna be doing spirited driving te-37 is the best choice imo.

 

How many times have we debated about wheel sizes Mike? The SSRs are pretty high quality rims and 18 inch is pretty much the minimum size that I would run on for aftermarket wheels, providing that it is a simple not-so-busy design such as those SSR, GramLights, or Volk TE37s. If you're going to run 18s, use a higher sidewall to compensate. Most late model sport cars that are shorter than our lengthy SCs comes with stock wheels that are larger than 17s. Most come with 18" stock nowadays.


However, if your going to run with a busier intricate design with rivets, go with 19". Aesthetically, 19" would give you the most porportional look for our cars. Heck, the M3s come stock with 19"

 

SSR definitely

 

SSR, TE37 is just too played out by the hondas.

 

hahah at least a few more times. i'd run 17X11 if i was going to run 17's. aite off work peace out.

 

SSR all the way. The SSR Type-C/Competition is probably one of the lightest wheels currently available for a reasonable amount of money.

Lotus Elise has extremely light wheels straight from the factory...but many owners switch to the SSR Comps because they are even lighter. The styling of the wheel doesnt fit the SC very well, but for sports use/function, it's the way to go.

The weight difference between Volk TE37's 17" and SSR Comp 18"s may be a moot point, as they are very similar in weight, despite the size difference.

SSR Competitions actually weigh LESS than TE37s when comparing same sizes. Contrary to popular belief, and the stuff magazines like Super Street feed to people....TE37's are *not* the lightest wheels around.


Old school SSR for the win

 

The SC is too big of a car for 17's.

I agree... Stick with SSR 18s.
